Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships Initiative

The Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships initiative, formerly the Faith-based and Community initiative, is a resource for secular and faith-based nonprofits and community organizations seeking to:

• Increase their impact in their communities.
• Make the most of what ACF has to offer.
• Understand federal grant opportunities and responsibilities.

President Obama has provided four key goals to focus the work of the Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnership initiative. These goals are to:

• Strengthen the role of community organizations in the economic recovery and poverty reduction.
• Reduce unintended pregnancies and support maternal and child health.
• Promote responsible fatherhood and healthy families.
• Foster interfaith dialogue and collaboration with leaders and scholars around the world, and at home.
